WHY are there no t-shirts with Tony Stark as Tony on them? I swear I've looked high and low, and I finally designed my own frakking t-shirt...

Those are very cool, however.

Maybe Downey was weirded out by having his face on a shirt? Who knows.

It's an image rights issue. They have to pay him like woah to use his likeness in the merchandising. It's not worth it to them.

Take, for example, the comic book version of Jack Sparrow. It has the elements of the character owned by the corporate parent (costume, hair) but not Johnny Depp's face. That'd cost.

Augh, is this why there's no Tony in the coloring/activity books? Just Iron Man?

...Not that I went on a search for Iron Man coloring books or anything, you understand. >___>

I wanna rock those! Especially the one you bought because that one looks really nifty. And oh man, I totally want those teeny repulsor gloves. Tee hee hee.

...Is it wrong that I kind of want the backpack too? Never had a purse in my life, but that I would drag around town for sure. Geekalicious.

I just realized that I commented all over this post, but never said thank you for taking the pictures and sharing the merchandise goodness with us.

So, thank you! :D
